Scripts Documentation

export_docs.py

Consolidates markdown documentation files for use with ChatGPT or other platforms with file upload limits.

What It Does

• Scans all subdirectories in the docs/ folder
• For each subdirectory, combines all .md files (excluding index.md files)
• Creates one consolidated markdown file per subdirectory
• Saves all exported files to doc_exports/ in the project root

Usage

# Using Makefile (recommended)
make export-docs

# Or run directly with uv
uv run python scripts/export_docs.py

# Or run with standard Python
python scripts/export_docs.py

Output

The script creates doc_exports/ directory with consolidated files like:

• getting-started.md - All getting-started documentation
• user-guide.md - All user guide content
• features.md - All feature documentation
• development.md - All development documentation
• etc.

Each exported file includes:

• A main header with the folder name
• Section headers for each source file
• Source file attribution
• The complete content from each markdown file
• Visual separators between sections

• Index files (index.md) are automatically excluded
• Files are sorted alphabetically for consistent output
• The script handles subdirectories only (ignores files in the root docs/ folder)
